Sales Manager

Sales Manager / Business Development Manager – Food & Hospitality Partnerships

Location: Uxbridge (5 days office-based for initial onboarding, then fully field-based across the UK)

Ready to apply Before you do, make sure to read all the details pertaining to this job in the description below.

About the Role

We are working with a fast-growing, well-backed multi-brand food business that’s expanding its footprint across the UK.

They are now hiring a commercially driven Sales Manager / BDM / Partnership Manager to lead the growth of their brand partnership and licensing channel, working with major multi-site operators across hospitality.

This is a high impact, front line role focused on winning and developing partnerships with pub groups, restaurant chains, universities, travel hubs, and leisure operators.

If you have sold into hospitality, whether through a food supplier, wholesaler, FMCG brand, or similar, and you are used to dealing with multi-site operators, this is a natural step up into a more strategic, higher-value sales role.

What You Will Be Doing

• Winning new business with multi-site hospitality operators (pub groups, restaurant chains, contract caterers, etc.)
• Selling a commercial partnership / licensing model that helps operators drive revenue and enhance their offer
• Building relationships with key decision-makers across operations, procurement, and leadership teams
• Managing the full sales cycle, from prospecting and pitching through to closing and onboarding
• Developing a strong pipeline through networking, outreach, and industry connections
• Working closely with leadership to shape the go-to-market strategy

Who This Role Will Suit

This role is ideal for someone currently in:

• Foodservice / FMCG sales
• Wholesale / supplier sales
• Drinks brands / food brands selling into pubs & restaurants
• Hospitality BDM / Sales Manager roles

You have:

• Experience selling into multi-site operators, pub groups, or restaurant chains
• Strong commercial instincts, comfortable discussing margins, revenue, and growth opportunities
• A proactive, xwzovoh new-business mindset (this is not an account management role)
• The ability to build credibility quickly with senior stakeholders
• Existing industry contacts (highly beneficial but not essential)

Why This Role Stands Out

• £55k–£60k base + uncapped commission (OTE £80k+)
• Join a high growth, well funded business at a key stage
• Autonomy to build your territory and approach
• Clear progression as the partnership channel scales

Location & Flexibility

• Based in Uxbridge for the first 4–6 weeks (onboarding & training)
• After that, the role becomes fully field-based, with travel to client sites across the UK
